Default Wheel help. I need it. lol

Well, i still am fairly new to the 350z world. I troll mostly on zilvia and local drifting forums (for wheels only)

I've tried searching, but I can not find the answer. What is the most 'flush' offset for our Z's? I hear that its around 20-ish, but i can never find wheels i like with that offset.

I called RB motoring this morning (nice guys, really) to ask them. I saw that they had a set of Volk GT-Vs with a +4 offset. And He told me that they wouldn't fit unless i rolled my fenders. And Im not too comfortable with rolling fenders.

They have wheels that I really like, but the size is, 19x8+22 and 19x10+38.

38 offset? would that sit kinda.. In? I know its the rear tires because the width is greater than the front. Or because of the fact that its wider, means the offset doesn't have to be as radical as a wheel with a smaller width?


How would that size look on the Z?

I truely do appreciate any input from you guys.

Thanks in advance!

Very common size. Find another member with a similar set up. Duplicate it. All your questions are solved.

i have 18x10 in the rears, with +37 offset. it is tucked in a bit, maybe 1/2 an inch or so. of course, a spacer wouldnt help make it flush with the fender, so you can always go that route as well

19x8+22 and 19x10+38

Those are terrible offsets. You'll want to run a 20mm spacer in front and a 25mm spacer in the rear. If you want to stay more conservative, still 15F & 20R.

so would a +4 offset really require a rolling?
